What the school actually runs

Riverside Academy is the worked example. Same stack for the concert, the lettings diary and the money from outside groups.

  • Hall events

    Nativity, summer concert, prize-giving. A seat map parents can use. A QR at the door so staff are not ticking a paper list.

  • Rooms and breakouts

    Drama studio after 15:30, a classroom for a tutor, the library as a dressing room. The diary is the booking page.

  • Third-party payment links

    The Players, the football club, county music. The office sends a link. They pay on the card. Nobody is chasing a cheque.

  • One set of books

    Tickets, hires and links land on the same account. The portal holds the order. ePayment is the card path.

One week on the site

Concert tickets, a studio slot, and a Saturday hire waiting on a payment link. That is the same school, not three systems.

Payment links for third parties

When the hirer is not a parent buying a ticket, the office sends a link. The group opens it, pays by card on ePayment, and the booking is marked paid. Click a row to see the mail and the page they get.

Cards

Payments and integrations

Checkout on tickets, room hire and payment links can bolt onto Stripe or PayPal. The better option is ePayment: use the merchant account you already have, or apply for our acquirer account.

  • Stripe and PayPal

    If that is how you already take cards, we can connect the account to Ticketebook. Parents and hirers pay the same way they do today.

  • Your merchant account

    Keep Worldpay, Elavon, Barclaycard, Lloyds or Global Payments. ePayment is the gateway. Settlement stays with your acquirer.

  • Our acquirer account

    No merchant account, or stuck on a blended Stripe-style rate? Apply for acquiring on ePayment. Next-day settlement, quoted to you.

  • One card path

    Concert tickets, studio hire and the Saturday payment link use the same processor. You keep any booking fee. Merchant and acquirer accounts on ePayment.

Ticketebook quotes ePayment from 1.2% + 15p. Gateway-only and all-in acquiring are set on the ePayment account.

What this takes off the office

The work that used to sit on a spreadsheet, a paper grid and a tray of cheques.

  • No seat chart on the gym wall

    Parents finish the concert booking on the map. Staff scan a QR on the night. See the door scanner.

  • No double-booked studio

    The concert blocks the hall. The Players' Saturday hire blocks it too. The next person sees grey, not a clash after the fact.

  • No chasing the treasurer

    A payment link is the invoice and the till. Paid or awaiting is on the same list as the room diary.

  • The fee stays in school

    Optional booking fee on tickets or hire. Ticketebook does not take it. Card fees are ePayment, not a platform cut of the face value.

How a school is charged

Three products, one account. Registered schools can ask for a rate.

Use You pay Ticketebook They pay the school
Concert and show tickets 1 credit per ticket Face value + any booking fee
Each bookable room Fixed fee per space Your hire rate

A photo of the chairs and the rooms you already let is enough. We will sketch the concert map, the diary and a payment link the Players can actually pay.
